Description

### Link to the coursework

### Why are we doing this?

#### Objective

In this exercise, you will utilize a Terraform module to create a reusable configuration for S3 buckets. Additionally, you'll implement remote state management using an S3 bucket.

#### Steps

1. **Create a Terraform Module for S3 Buckets**

- Create a new directory named `s3_module` and place a new Terraform file inside it, e.g., `main.tf`.
- Define the Terraform code for an S3 bucket inside this file.

2. **Implement Remote State in S3**

- In your main Terraform configuration (`main.tf`), configure the backend for remote state using S3.

3. **Initialize and Apply**
- Initialize your Terraform project.
- Apply the configuration to create the S3 bucket using the module and configure remote state.

#### Validation

- Confirm that the S3 bucket was created as expected.
- Check the S3 bucket where you store the remote state to ensure that the `terraform.tfstate` file is present.
